"The Paint Flashing Charm---that's what we're going to be learning and working with today. As a lot of your classmates mentioned, this charm is typically used on banners, such as the ones you see at Quidditch matches, to show support for your favorite team," she said. She stayed quiet for a moment as she moved from one side of the classroom to the next.
"The charm does just as its name suggests. It charms paint to flash a variety of different colors. It's a real attention getter at those Quidditch mathes," she pointed out. "The charm, of course, doesn't have to be used at a Quidditch match, though. I'm sure if you think hard enough, you can come up with many different uses for the charm. Today, though, we're going to focus on its use in creating flashy banners."
"Wands out, for those of you who haven't already taken yours out. Now I haven't given you anything to practice on yet, but I will soon. We're going to work on the incantation and wand movement first," she said. She raised her wand into the air, ready to demonstrate the charm.
"The incantation for the charm is Colorus Fulgeo, and the wand movement is a tap on the color you want to change...and with your wand still pointed toward the desired object...one complete circle to the right then one complete circle to the left," she said, her wand waving through the air to demonstrate each motion as she talked about it. "For example, if I wanted the red color on a picture to flash gold, I'd tap the red color, swish my wand in a circular motion to the right...then to the left...and say, Colorus Fulgeo red to gold!"
"Now, take a few moments to practice the charm. Just pretend you have something nice and painted in front of you and get a feel for the incantation and wand movement," she instructed.
Iris grinned to herself when Professor Cartlon said that she was on to something. That was good, right? hehe.
When the professor started to explain what they were doing today, Iris listened to her whilst making some notes that she knew she'd need later on.
YAY. Flashy banners! Maybe they'd be able to make stuff for their dorms. hehe.
She took her wand out and looked at it, then copied the professor's movements.
Pointing her wand at a spot on the table, she pretended that it was a piece of paper.
One circle rightways.
One circle leftways.
Iris did this a couple of times until she reckoned she'd grasped it, then tried it with the incantation. (Even though it wouldn't work. There was no paint. hehe.)
Once circle rightways.
Another circle leftways.
"Colourus Fulgeo ... Blue to ... Yellow!" Hehe. Nice bright colours.
Iris looked up to the professor as other people around her practiced. She put up her right hand,
"Professor? Y'know this charm... Is it possible to use it to, like, change the colour of the paint to more than two colours? For example, if you wanted the colours to change from red to orange to yellow to green to blue to purple ... so on and so forth.... Or is the charm only restricted to changing it to two colours?" Wow. Iris felt like she'd talked too much then, and her head hurt a little. Hopefully Professor Cartlon would get what she meant though.
And yes, Iris did want to make rainbow paint. Just to prove her brother wrong. Silly him. Rainbow paint didn't exist. Pfft.
